If you live in Orange County, you know that people here love their pets. Doggy strollers, hand-knit sweaters, room-sized cat trees and pet photography are just some of the luxuries pets enjoy in this neck of the woods. If you’re in the market for a furry friend of your own to spoil, you can find yourself canines and felines of the highest pedigree by contacting a local breeder. Here are five breeders in Orange County where you can find yourself a new best friend.

If you don’t have the time to train and socialize a puppy, purchasing a dog from the breeders at ABC Golden Retrievers may be the right move for you. These dogs are raised in a family environment and are fully trained, socialized and house broken. Socialization training occurs in many different environments including sports games, parks and even airports so you can be comfortable taking your new best friend everywhere you go. Golden retrievers are known for their intelligence, loyalty and kid-friendly disposition so your new dog can quickly become a part of your family.

If you’re looking for a champion-breed bulldog, look no further than DK. These dogs come from a long line of competition canines and they have the pictures and ribbons to prove it. You can be placed on a waiting list for a purebred English bulldog or Frenchie. While bulldogs may look intimidating, they are sweet-natured and rarely bark. They can also be stubborn and spend most of the day snoring on the couch.

For a smaller breed of dogs, consider bringing home an American Kennel Club-registered purebred Yorkshire terrier or Maltese. Both of these regal lap dogs are feisty and intelligent. Yorkies are known for their long, straight coats and are often adorned with bows and other hair accessories. The Maltese is playful and great at learning tricks. Contact Wee-R-Yorkies & Maltese to find out when puppies are available.

For every dog lover in Orange County, you’ll find an equally avid cat lover. If you prefer a furry friend that purrs, you can find a handful of breeders in the area that specialize in certain species of cats. Halestone Savannahs offers savannah kittens that are already socialized and taught good house manners and litter habits. Savannah cats are unlike any other domestic felines. Bred from an African Serval and a Domestic Shorthair cat, savannahs are long and lean with tall ears and bold spotting on their coats. They are playful and active and make great additions to the family.

If you suffer from allergies or are tired of finding cat hair all over the furniture, consider bringing home a hairless and low-maintenance sphynx. These exotic cats can be affectionate and intelligent friends. The kittens from Sphynx 4 You are registered with the Cat Fanciers’ Association and the International Cat Association. You can place a deposit on an upcoming litter and this local cat breeder will take care of the rest.
